George Formby's "Boots! Boots!" is a hilarious musical comedy film made in 1934, which features some catchy tunes and funny songs sung by Formby himself. The story of the film revolves around George Gullip and his infatuation with the daughter of his boss. He finds himself in a difficult position when his boss engages him to take care of a racing horse while he goes away on a trip. Meanwhile, he makes several blunders, and numerous mishaps befall him while looking after the horse. He is helped by his lady friend, Florrie, who he hopes to propose to once he has gained the confidence to do so.

George is a clumsy and bumbling fellow, who always seems to find himself in trouble. He works as a handyman for a wealthy family, where he falls in love with the daughter of the household. Despite his best efforts to woo her, she is not interested in him. However, he gets an opportunity to prove himself when his boss goes away on a trip and entrusts him with a valuable racing horse named "Ambassador."

George is overjoyed to take care of "Ambassador," but his lack of experience with horses causes many problems, and things quickly spiral out of control. George's attempts to clean the horse's stables, groom him, and feed him, only lead to hilarious mishaps.

While looking after the horse, George finds himself involved in a series of crazy adventures. He gets tangled in a rowdy pub fight, enters a fancy restaurant dressed like a jockey, and has to rescue the horse from a farm where he mistakenly took him instead of the racecourse.

The film's climax is set at the famous Epsom Downs Racecourse, where George, dressed as a jockey, rides "Ambassador" in the big race. Everything seems to be going well, and George is on course to win, but the horse gets spooked and veers off track. In typical Formby fashion, the scene is played for laughs, and George manages to predictably save the day in his own unique style.

Throughout the film, George Formby shines with his singing, comedic timing, and on-screen charm. He is supported by his real-life wife and musical partner, Beryl Formby, who plays his love interest, Florrie. Arthur Kingsley provides excellent support as the scheming villain, who wants "Ambassador" to win at all costs.

The film's musical numbers, which are all written by George Formby himself, are catchy and fun. They include the hit songs "Sitting On The Ice In The Ice Rink," "Swim Little Fish," and "When I'm Cleaning Windows," which became one of Formby's most famous songs.

Overall, "Boots! Boots!" is a classic comedy film that is packed with laughs, entertaining musical numbers, and plenty of action. It's a perfect showcase for George Formby's unique talents and will undoubtedly leave audiences humming along to the catchy tunes. Whether you are a fan of classic cinema, musical comedies, or George Formby, this film is a must-watch.
